Download or read book Testing Students With Disabilities written by Martha L. Thurlow and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to facilitate the meaningful inclusion of students with disabilities in district and state assessments as required by the 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. First, an introductory chapter offers reasons for including students with disabilities in district and statewide accountability systems. Chapters 2 through 6 address the specifics of including children with disabilities, such as deciding how students participate in district and state tests, eligibility for assessment accommodations, how to decide which accommodations are appropriate for use in assessments, the characteristics of alternate assessments, and including English language learners with disabilities in assessments. Chapters 7 through 10 address using assessment results, how the Individualized Education Program (IEP) can be restructured to promote greater participation in the accountability system, teacher and service provider collaboration, gaining support from administrators, parent involvement in testing decisions, and the legalities of restructuring accountability systems that include all students. Extensive appendices include sample forms and worksheets for participation decision making, IEP development, assessment accommodations, and student feedback; checklists of criteria for deciding about participation, accommodations, and assessment type; a guide to staff development; and a list of Technical Assistance and Dissemination Networks. (Individual chapters identify additional resources.) (CR).

Book Synopsis 2008-09 Publicly Reported Assessment Results for Students with Disabilities and ELLs with Disabilities. Technical Report 59 by : Martha L. Thurlow
Download or read book 2008-09 Publicly Reported Assessment Results for Students with Disabilities and ELLs with Disabilities. Technical Report 59 written by Martha L. Thurlow and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the thirteenth annual report by the National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) that analyzes public reporting practices of assessment data for students with disabilities in K-12 schools in the United States. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required states to disaggregate performance data at the state and district level. This year marks the tenth annual reporting period since this requirement was established, and the seventh reporting period since the 2001 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). For school year (SY) 2008-09, the number of regular states publicly reporting disaggregated data for both participation and performance for students with disabilities taking regular assessments maintained at 46 states from the previous year. However, this year marked the first time that all 50 states disaggregated data for at least some regular tests for ESEA accountability systems. For regular states reporting on alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS), 45 states had at least some data reported, up from 36 the previous year. Among these, 44 states reported both participation and performance data. Although reporting practices for regular assessments have changed little for 2008-09 compared to the previous years, this year did mark the first time all 50 states reported disaggregated data for at least some state assessments in ESEA accountability systems. Reporting on AA-AAS also improved over the previous two years. Further, all states with AA-MAS reported participation and performance data. For performance, although there were increased mean gaps for students with disabilities and regular students on regular assessments across all grades and content areas, the mean performance for students in both populations showed improvement in all grades and content areas, but regular students showed larger mean gains compared to last year. Unique states held steady with reporting on regular assessments, and made some improvement in the number of states reporting on AA-AAS. Further, with the inclusion of ELLs with disabilities in this report, the authors saw that although fewer states report on these students for regular assessments, this number also is increasing over prior reports. Nearly half of the regular states report on AA-AAS for this population. For Title III ELP assessments, half of the regular states that publicly reported data for ELLs did so for ELLs with disabilities. Finally, the publicly disaggregated participation and performance data described in this report covered a variety of state assessments based on state content standards. States have increased the breadth of their reporting over the years, to some extent due to additional testing options but also due to more detailed reporting and reporting data not reported previously. Appended are: (1) Example Letter to Assessment Director; (2) Example Letter to Special Education Director; (3) Status of Disaggregated Data (Participation and Performance) for Students with Disabilities and ELLs with Disabilities on Regular State Tests in the Fifty States and Unique States for 2008-2009; (4) Status of Disaggregated Data (Participation and Performance) for Students with Disabilities and ELLs with Disabilities on Alternate Assessments Based on Alternate Achievement Standards in the Fifty States and Unique States for 2008-2009; (5) Status of Disaggregated Data (Participation and Performance) for Students with Disabilities on Alternate Assessments Based on Modified Achievement Standards in the Fifty States and Unique States for 2008-2009; (6) How Participation was Reported for Students with Disabilities on Regular Assessments in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (7) How Participation was Reported for ELLs with Disabilities on Regular Assessments in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (8) How Participation was Reported for Students with Disabilities on Alternates Based on Alternate Achievement Standards in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (9) How Participation was Reported for ELLs with Disabilities on Alternates Based on Alternate Achievement Standards in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (10) How Performance was Reported for Students with Disabilities on Regular Assessments in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (11) How Performance was Reported for ELLs with Disabilities on Regular Assessments in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (12) How Performance was Reported for Students with Disabilities on Alternate Assessments Based on Alternate Achievement Standards in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (13) How Performance was Reported for ELLs with Disabilities on Alternate Assessments Based on Alternate Achievement Standards in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; (14) Status of Disaggregated Data (Participation and Performance) for ELLs with Disabilities on Title III English Language Proficiency Assessment Data in the Fifty States for 2008-2009; and (15) Status of Disaggregated Reporting for Students Using Accommodations on State Assessments in the Fifty States for 2008-2009.

Download or read book High-leverage Practices in Special Education written by Council for Exceptional Children and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education teachers, as a significant segment of the teaching profession, came into their own with the passage of Public Law 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, in 1975. Since then, although the number of special education teachers has grown substantially it has not kept pace with the demand for their services and expertise. The roles and practice of special education teachers have continuously evolved as the complexity of struggling learners unfolded, along with the quest for how best to serve and improve outcomes for this diverse group of students. High-Leverage Practices in Special Education defines the activities that all special educators needed to be able to use in their classrooms, from Day One. HLPs are organized around four aspects of practice collaboration, assessment, social/emotional/behavioral practices, and instruction because special education teachers enact practices in these areas in integrated and reciprocal ways. The HLP Writing Team is a collaborative effort of the Council for Exceptional Children, its Teacher Education Division, and the CEEDAR Center; its members include practitioners, scholars, researchers, teacher preparation faculty, and education advocates--Amazon.com

(1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.

Download or read book Students with Both Gifts and Learning Disabilities written by Tina A. Newman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were motivated to edit this book when we began to hear stories of exceptional students who were struggling with reading, writing, or math, but who could solve seemingly any problem with computers, or build the most intricate structures with Legos, or could draw beautiful pictures, or could tell the most creative stories but ended up in tears when asked to write it out. How is it possible to have so much talent in some areas and yet to appear to have a disability in another? What resources are available for these students? How can we ensure that these students' abilities are nurtured and developed? Our goal in this book is to provide ideas and possibly even tentative answers for educators and to stimulate more questions to be answered by researchers. We have ourselves been addressing related questions for some time. Our group at the PACE Center at Yale has explored the developmentof abilities, competencies and expertise that allow people to be successful in life. Through this work, we have collaborated with school districts and other educators and researchers across the country to expand the notion ofwhat is traditionally thought ofas intelligence. We use the conceptofsuccessful intelligence to allow for the possibility that the skills traditionally taught in school are not the only ones, and often not even the most important ones, that allow people to be successful in the world.
